i had a problem with a pst file that was larger than 2g using outlook 2000.
i
fixed it but now outlook is receiving mail to an archive folder, not my
outlook pst folder.

This means that you selected the archive PST and changed its properties to
be the delivery location.

how do i change it so that email-both in and out goes to
that pst account.

Depends on whether you're using Internet Mail Only mode or
Corporate/Workgroup mode. For the former, select the root of the PST you
want to be the delivery location, click FIleProperties and you should see a
box you can check to specify the PST as the delivery location. For CW mode,
click ToolsServices and on the Delivery tab select the PST you want to be
the delivery location.

further, when i ran the repair tool it renamed my inbox,
how do i rename it .

Renamed it to what? Outlook 2000 doesn't seem to have the /resetfoldernames
command switch, but try starting it once with the /resetfolders command
switch (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197180). If this doesn't work,
you'll need to create a new PST, make it the delivery location, then move
the data from the old PST to the new one. You can then close the old one
and, after closing Outlook, delete it from disk if you wish.
